Bluesky seems to be the new Twitter and seems happy, like here used to feel. Not easy to build up a new following, I’ve been here since 2011 with 2k followers now, whereas I’ve been on Bluesky since December 2023 and have 157 followers. Worth it though!

It was also the first piece I heard David Saint play on the just-completed organ back in 1992.

So, this Saturday I give the inaugural recital on the new digital organ in Wombourne…
It’s arguably the best solution for this church, given that space and finance don’t give the option of a pipe organ, even a rehomed one.
